What needs to be filled out on my mobile home title?
This answer has been viewed 2666 times and was last updated on 08/05/2019.

To see how to properly complete a title for transfer, view our title transfer illustration.

What is the difference in "OR" versus "AND" between co-owners?

The conjunctions "OR" and "AND" determine who is required to sign the title when a mobile home is sold. If "OR", either of the co-owners can sign independently and without the other's knowledge. If "AND", both co-owners must sign. Regardless of the conjunction used, both owners are equal owners of the mobile home. (Note: Double-wide mobile homes will have 2 titles and triple-wide mobile homes will have 3 titles, all of which require sign-off when sold.)

If I am unable to come in can I give someone the authority to sign on my behalf?

Yes; you can complete a Limited Power of Attorney Form and appoint someone to sign title-related documents on your behalf, provided they have their valid (unexpired) state-issued license/ID or valid (unexpired) passport with them.

The form is vehicle-specific; therefore, multiple vehicles would require a separate form.

Please note that this is not the same type of Power of Attorney that is prepared by a lawyer; however a General or Durable Power of Attorney may also be accepted upon approval by our office.

You must present our office with the original Limited Power of Attorney Form.  If using a General or Durable Power of Attorney, you may submit a photocopy in lieu of the original.

Note: If the General or Durable Power of Attorney was issued on or after 10/01/2011, it must also include two witness' signatures, the principal's signature and notarization (or a perjury clause if not notarized).  If it does not have all of these components, it cannot be accepted.

Any Power of Attorney submitted must be accompanied by a legible photocopy of the applicant's valid (unexpired) state-issued license/ID or valid (unexpired) passport.
